I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! He loved me ere I knew Him; He drew me with the cords of love, And thus He bound me to Him. And round my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, Forever and forever. |

I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! He bled, He died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But His own self He gave me. Naught that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver; My heart, my strength, my life, my all, Are His, and His forever. |

I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! So kind, and true, and tender, So wise a Counsellor and Guide, So mighty a Defender! From Him who loves me now so well, What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, or earth or hell? No? I am His forever. |

This hymn is one that reveals the Love, Nature and Character of God to me in such a special way that words are not enough to express my feelings. The tune I sing with was taught to me by the Holy Spirit before I came across the words of the hymn. I can say that this hymn was specially written for me. Thank You Dear Holy Spirit, You are such a wonder.

My husband is in the ICU dying of lymphoma and last night, when I couldn't sleep, this hymn came up in my heart. I hadn't heard or sung this hymn in a long time. I sang it to my husband today when I went to visit. I know that the Lord ministered to me last night and to my husband today through the words of this song.

James Small was a minister in the Scottish Free Church who loved to write hymns. His first book was "Hymns for Youthful Voices", published in 1859. This hymn, originally called "Jesus the Friend", was published 4 years later in "The Revival Hymnbook". - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton

I was reminded last night in our devotional reading from Our Daily Bread of this song. It took me back many years and I was reminded of God's greatness and faithfulness. Thank you.
